Ormond is a family suburb first, and its four-bedroom homes tell the story. They clear at around three in four, well ahead of the three-bedroom result closer to the mid-fifties, as families stretch for the larger home to secure a place in the sought-after local school zone. Well-presented, move-in-ready houses with usable outdoor space are the ones drawing the strongest interest.
The apartment market is steadier, with two-bedroom units near $600,000 clearing at around two in three over about five weeks, a genuine entry point for first-home buyers and investors.
With limited stock and price-sensitive buyers, the suburb rewards getting the campaign right from the start. For a family home, that means leaning into the qualities buyers are paying for here, space, condition and the school zone, and pricing to recent comparable sales. A turn-key home presented at its best is the one that converts this family demand into a strong, competitive result.

Owning an investment property and owning a good investment property are not necessarily the same thing. It’s an important distinction, and one that property investors should revisit regularly.
The Reserve Bank's decision to leave the cash rate on hold at 4.35 per cent is welcome news for buyers, sellers and businesses alike. While it's not a silver bullet for Melbourne's property market, it should provide some reassurance that the aggressive phase of the interest rate tightening cycle may be easing.
